I know it's halfway through the month, but I think I'm going to try to put together a game for the Blood Worm Moon TTRPG Jam on @itch.io. I'm thinking to try to do a game where you're a crew of space pirates who don't know they're undead, need to find out they're undead, then figure out how to die.

folks, there’s good news for a change.

that anti-trans executive order sports ban won’t be a law this week; they didn’t get closer to defining trans people out of legal existence or trans women as men under the law.

this matters.

no democrats broke ranks.

thank you to everyone who called. 💜🏳️‍⚧️

A worth while thread. Humor can be a tool of social control, and definitely helps define groups.
The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place):

1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

The best advice I've gotten (and followed) about marriage is to keep dating your partner. Especially after having kids when it's stressful. It's not just fun, but it's key to maintaining the connection with your partner! Having had a fun date last night is really rejuvenating.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist.
Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

Democrats looking toward the midterms are foolish. It hasn't even been 3 weeks and Trump has destroyed critical components of the government. By the midterms, it will be too late.

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x
Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

My submission to the @itch.io Tiny World TTRPG Jam, the town of Dusk. I'd love to hear comments, or what folks do with it.

Just got the email with pre-sale ticketing offer to see the @pwhlfleet.bsky.social at Aganis 6 minutes ago, and it's already sold out! I'm glad folks are so excited it sold out that fast!

I think of this quote often, whenever someone says art and vibes will be enough for what's to come.

I have to say, as unimpressed as I have always been with Maura Healey, wanting to deploy traffic and speeding cameras to implement more surveillance in the opening days of an authoritarian regime is wild.

It's time for the Royal Society to revoke Elon's fellowship. Surely Nazi salutes are against the Code of Conduct?

DM: How’d you like the game?

Newbie: It was awesome! How do you keep track of everything?

DM: A magician never reveals their secrets!

Newbie: Haha, yeah that’s true!

DM: I’m just kidding, my secret is confidence and bullshit, I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing.
